Summary
"The crux of the matter is, the Music has changed. Manwë and Namo at least can hear new chords. And Manwë says it was Eru Illuvatar himself who opened the Door of Night to let Elai through. Since Eru must have known Melkor was there, Eru let Melkor through also."

Summary
He might have ignored the creature tumbling through the Void had he not felt the presence of his Father.
But perhaps not.
It had, after all, been years without count since anything had disturbed the emptiness of his existence. And although he wasn’t entirely certain he moved to grasp the flailing body before he felt Eru’s nearness, awareness of the latter didn’t stop him. If nothing else, it was something to do.
There had been nothing for so long, something was almost incomprehensible.Series

Summary
My first venture into Tolkien fan-fiction, and I have no idea what this is about currently. If you've read any of my other work, think that, but even less sure what's going to happen! There are likely to be edits as this develops, sometimes substantial ones. I'm also doing a crash course in Tolkien lore; I wrote my dissertation on his work, but that was many years ago, and I've only just reread the Hobbit. Not going to lie, it was watching 'The Rings of Power' that made me revisit the books, and I'm not particularly a fan of the TV series. Loved Peter Jackson's films though, I sobbed all the way through the opening scenes of Fellowship, just because I felt like I was actually in Middle-earth.
Anyway, let's see how this goes ...

Summary
Ever since the horror of Carteneau, Elai has encountered a mysterious and powerful sorceror in her dreams, both waking and sleeping. He calls himself Emet-Selch and, although she knows this isn't his real name - his real name is Hades, she believes - she comes to regard him as a friend. He has lived for aeons, through countless wars, upheavals and calamities, and he's learned a great deal about good and evil. But then Elai discovers that he was once Emperor Solus, architect of the Garlean Empire. Confused and not a little upset, she decides to look for the beacon in the Syrcus Trench as a distraction ...
This contains spoilers for all of Shadowbringers and its patches.

Summary
This is a companion piece to 'Wish You Were Here' and 'In the Dark' simply because I couldn't wait any longer to write about these three. You don't need to have read any of the previous series parts to follow this; if you ARE reading the previous parts this might be a bit spoiler-y, so please take that into account.
This is mostly inspired by my FC going 'oooo, we'd love a game/sitcom/anything really about Emet, Hyth and Azem'. Since I would too, I started to write it. Because it's post-Endwalker, it may turn out to be very non-canon since I don't have any real story beats to pick up on yet. No idea how long/short it's going to be either, and I do need to crack on with 'Wish You Were Here' so this might not get updated all that often.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it <3

Summary
It's not a story the Valar would tell you ...
[A glittering notebook bound in rose gold appears before you. The cover is engraved with warnings including TOP SECRET, FOR MAIA EYES ONLY, and KEEP OUT - THIS MEANS YOU!!! Stickers of orange eyes and golden rings adorn the spine. The metal is warm to the touch.]
In which Sauron keeps a remarkably detailed and mostly accurate record of his strange adventures, his diabolical plans, his petty complaints, and his complicated relationship with a certain Dark Lord of Arda.

Summary
Emet-Selch had said there would be a price to pay for retrieving Y’shtola from the lifestream. That the Ascian had expected something in return for his generosity didn’t surprise you in the least. What you never would have anticipated is that the price he demanded was you.
